We continue to prescribe Nexlizet 1st before PCSK9 injections and that will help the company catch up to Repatha sales.  The beauty is Nexlizet is a once a day pill and provides an extra layer of protection by lowering hscrp, sadly PCSK9 injections don't.

74502850 : I found this post interesting and came across it under my stock position in Merck, so I felt compelled to share my thoughts. As a cardiologist, I’ve recently started prescribing Bempedoic Acid (Nexletol) and the combination of Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe (Nexlizet) to my patients. It has now made its way into the guidelines, and I find it to be an effective option. I’ve been using Ezetimibe (Zetia) for quite some time, but on its own, it’s not particularly effective. In contrast, Nexlizet has shown impressive results, typically achieving a 40% reduction in cholesterol with no complaints of side effects.
I’ve also been trying patients on Nexlizet before moving to Repatha, and so far, it’s working well.
These days, many people are understandably more concerned about statin medications, especially when higher doses are required. I had a patient who experienced a heart attack followed by a stroke within the same week, primarily because he couldn’t tolerate the muscle pain from being on a high-dose statin. I think Esperion will do very well as company. I work at Heartplace Texas.

74502850 : Getting your cholesterol checked is important for several reasons:
Early Detection of Risk: Cholesterol levels can be a key indicator of your risk for cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. Often, high cholesterol doesn't have noticeable symptoms, so regular check-ups can help identify high levels before they cause serious issues.
Managing Heart Health: High cholesterol, particularly low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol, can build up in your arteries, leading to plaque formation. This narrows and hardens the arteries, making it more difficult for blood to flow. Monitoring cholesterol levels helps you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about managing your heart health.
Prevention of Complications: High cholesterol can lead to serious long-term complications like atherosclerosis (plaque buildup), which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. By getting your cholesterol checked regularly, you can take steps to lower it through lifestyle changes or medication, potentially preventing more severe outcomes.
Risk Factors for Other Conditions: High cholesterol is often linked to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Regular cholesterol checks can help spot potential interconnections and address them early on.
Tailored Health Plans: Knowing your cholesterol numbers enables your doctor to create a personalized plan to maintain or improve your heart health, which may include diet changes, exercise, or cholesterol-lowering medications if necessary.
Regular cholesterol checks are a simple but effective way to stay ahead of potential heart health issues, and they can be a vital part of maintaining overall wellness.
